Wearing sunglasses on the golf course serves several important purposes. First and most important, sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun. Another benefit from wearing sunglasses on the golf course is that they stop the glare of the sunlight from hitting directly into your eyes so you can see the golf ball better.
There are 2 kinds of sunglasses, polarized and non-polarized. Polarized generally use a filter to block the glare, and generally provide greater protection and harmful sun rays, however could block out to much light. Non-polarized sunglasses typically are less costly sunglasses, may not reduce as much depth perception as polarized sunglasses and may not protect your eyes as much from harmful ultra-violet light.
So, which are better for golfers to wear is a tough choice as both have benefits and disadvantages. PGA Tour players wear both, however many prefer the non-polarized sunglasses so they can read the greens with less depth perception being blocked out. I have found a sunglass company that offers both options for golfers, Reks.
Reks offers some amazing and unique sunglasses using Trivex. Trivex is a clearer lens material than polycarbonate and provides improved peripheral vision and weighs less than one ounce. The Reks sunglass frames are also unbreakable, as they include a rubberized coating. Reks are available in non-prescription and prescription options.
I tried 2 different lenses from Reks, one is polarized and one non-polarized, both in their Sport Frame style. First their Golf lenses which are non-polarized. I felt comfortable wearing them on the golf course, however the golf lenses really didn’t remove a lot of the sunlight. Wearing the golf lenses everything was very clear, which I liked. Wearing the Reks Brown Polarized lenses I felt like my eyes were really protected, however, I could tell my depth perception was off a bit.
Both of the Reks sunglass options offer unbreakable frames which I’ve never seen before, so no worries in case you accidentally sit on them or other accident. Both have their positives, so to be honest it comes down to personal preference. I prefer the non-polarized so my depth perception does not change, however I understand why golfers want the most eye protection, and why they would choose the polarized option.
Bottom line Reks sunglasses offer sunglasses for everyone. From Polarized to Non-Polarized, from standard sunglasses to prescription sunglasses. Reks offers 9 styles to choose from and multiple lens options., so they have a style for everyone. Reks offer a 30 day money back guarantee, and free shipping and returns in the U.S.
The company website is www.reks.com and all sunglasses come with an unbelievable unbreakable frame, and a very nice hard case to protect your sunglasses.
